Citing Lost Girl as the Number 1 ranked program on Showcase across multiple key demos (including the Top 20 of all Canadian Specialty Programs for Fall 2013 and continuing to rank in the Top 20 of all Canadian Specialty Programs in Winter/Spring 2014), the series was renewed for a fifth season consisting of 13 episodes on February 27, 2014.

Syfy (U.S.) did not issue a press release announcing the renewal for a fifth season; however, the finale episode of Season 4 on April 7, 2014, was followed by the "Lost Girl - Season 5 Tease" trailer informing viewers that Lost Girl would return in 2015.

Story arc

In the upcoming final season, Bo, desperate to stop the Ancients, hell bent on using the Nyx to wipe out all of Human and Faekind, does the unthinkable: She beckons daddy dearest from the depths of the underworld. It takes evil to fight evil. But will the man Bo’s been waiting five seasons to meet turn out to be Dark Lord she’s expecting, or is there any hope in hell he might be the loving father she deserves? As the truth surfaces, each and everyone one of Bo’s friends are affected, and conflicting narratives force Bo to question everything she’s ever known about who she is, where she comes from, and who she can trust. Bo's final journey comes to a heart-racing conclusion when her worst nightmare becomes a reality, bringing her face to face with her greatest foe yet.

TORONTO, August 25, 2014 - Today, Showcase revealed that the previously announced fifth season of Lost Girl will wrap up the fan-favourite series. In a message to the show's loyal "Fae"-natics, Lost Girl star Anna Silk revealed that Showcase supersized the original 13-episode order to 16 final episodes bringing the series to a thrilling conclusion. The season is split into two heart-stopping parts, with the first eight episodes airing Sundays at 9pm ET/PT on Showcase, beginning December 7.

"The massive popularity of Lost Girl is a testament to the inventive and hard-working team at Prodigy Pictures, the magnetic and talented cast and the most devoted and passionate fan base in Canadian television," said Barbara Williams, Senior Vice President, Content, Shaw Media. "We're so proud that Showcase has been the home to this landmark series and we look forward to sharing these final 16 episodes with the show's fans."

"It's been an absolute honour playing Bo, and I'm looking forward to seeing where her personal journey leads her this season," said Lost Girl star Anna Silk.

"Lost Girl has been an incredible ride. We're so proud to have delivered a show with the groundbreaking message that you can live the life you choose," said Executive Producer Jay Firestone.

Lost Girl follows supernatural seductress Bo (Silk), a tough yet loveable Succubus who feeds off sexual energy. Since realizing she is part of the Fae, creatures of legend and folklore who live among humans, Bo has resisted choosing an allegiance to either the Dark or Light Fae clans. Instead, she has forged her own path between the human and Fae worlds, while embarking on a mission to unlock the secrets of her origin.

In the blow-out final season, Bo goes to hell and back to try to save the people she loves, triggering an explosive chain of events that play out over the exhilarating final episodes.

Lost Girl was developed by Prodigy Pictures, in association with Shaw Media and Showcase. Executive Producers are Jay Firestone, Vanessa Piazza and Michael Grassi.

Lost Girl is produced with the participation of the Canadian Media Fund created by the Government of Canada and the Canadian cable industry, and with the assistance of the Canadian Film or Video Production Tax Credit and the Ontario Film and Television Tax Credit Program.
